Mā mātou hoki ngā whakamoemiti. Ngā mihi ki ngā mate. E ngā iwi o Whangārei Te Terenga Paraoa ka mihi kia koutou, tēnā koutou katoa. Greetings to all at this time of safety following the challenges of the worldwide pandemic. We are thankful. Farewell to our loved ones. All the people of Whangārei greetings to you, greetings to all. With COVID-19 sweeping the globe, 2020 has been a year like no other. Our 2020-21 Annual Plan reflects this as we adapt to the challenges and uncertainty of this time. The pandemic has interrupted a sustained period of growth for Whangārei District. In the following pages, you will find a plan for Year 3 of our 2018-2028 Long Term Plan (LTP) that focuses on kotahitanga, whanaungatanga, collective action, care and recovery. Before adopting this plan, we sought feedback on a reduced general rates rise of 2.2% (inflation) and a $3m targeted Relief Package to support our ratepayers, community groups and businesses. Working within the restrictions of COVID-19, we were still able to connect and engage, receiving just over 120 submissions on this year’s proposed plan. With a majority of submitters in support of the draft Annual Plan, Council voted to reduce its rates rise to 2.2% this year and proceed with the $3m Relief Package. Our District now has in place a plan that allows us to continue providing almost all services at the same standard you’ve been used to. It also enables us to keep delivering what you told us was important in our last Long Term Plan (LTP). Delivery of Council’s capital programme will play an important part in our District’s economic recovery. At the same time, our Relief Package means we have support available for any ratepayers, businesses and community groups who need some extra help today. We now move ahead with our eyes forward and our hearts open. We will take every opportunity to make our place a more environmentally sustainable, inclusive and resilient home for us all. Ngā mihi nui Sheryl Mai Mayor of Whangarei 5 To find more What is the information on our 2018-28 LTP, Annual Plan take a look at 2020-21? www.wdc.govt.nz/ltp The Annual Plan 2020-21 is Year 3 of our Long Term Plan 2018-28 (LTP), and is our financial forecast for the next 12 months. It identifies Council’s activities, how they will be This is your funded and where budget has been allocated from July 2020 to June District 2021. You can read about Council’s activities in pages 23 to 82 and the detailed financial information in pages 89 to 121. Long Term Plan (LTP) LTP YEAR 1 Council’s finances & direction set for the next 10 years Annual Plan Annual Report LTP YEAR 2 Year 2 finances and direction reviewed Annual COVID-19 HITS Plan Annual Report WE ARE HERE LTP YEAR 3 Year 3 finances and direction reviewed LTP Annual Reviewed Report every 3 years 6 Our Vision A vibrant, attractive and thriving District Everything we do is guided by our vision and community outcomes. These are based on what you told us is important to you, during engagement on the LTP. Our Community Outcomes Efficient and resilient core services • It is easy and safe for everyone to travel around the District • There are opportunities to walk and cycle • The District is well prepared for growth and can adapt to change • Services are supplied in ways that benefit the environment. Positive about the future • The District has productive land, people and a thriving city centre • There is a fair urban/rural balance • Council has clear, simple documents and rules • The District embraces new technology and opportunities. Caring for the environment • Communities work to keep the environment clean and healthy • Access to the coast is protected • Open spaces in parks and streets are places where nature thrives • The District is positively adapting to climate change. Proud to be local • The District is neat, tidy and looks attractive • Public areas feel and are safe • There is always something to do and see • There are opportunities for people of all abilities, ages and life stages to be active. 7 Overview of the 2020-21 Annual Plan Our original budget and work programme for this coming year was prepared as part of the 2018–28 LTP for a different looking future. We have readjusted and directed our focus toward building business confidence and helping relieve the burden of COVID-19 on our people and communities. Our original plan had been to increase our revenue so that we could continue to build and maintain the infrastructure our growing District needs – things like roads, water pipes and wastewater systems. To pay for this we had proposed a rates increase of 4.2%. We have now changed these plans to recognise the financial pressure people are under. At the same time, we have reviewed our budgets to enable us to invest in Whangārei’s recovery. This year we will have a smaller rates rise of 2.2%. We will also have a new $3m Relief Package and we will be seeking funding from central government for key infrastructure and economic development projects. This approach allows us to balance rates affordability, while continuing to pay for the things the District needs day-to-day and deliver planned programmes. However, COVID-19 may still prevent us from meeting some of our service levels for highly affected areas, like Venues and Events. Our commitment is to do the best we can here, while working within the guidance from central government. As we look towards our next 10-year plan, we will move from our initial response to COVID-19 to put in place actions and funding to reset our economy to be more resilient, equitable and sustainable. 8 COVID-19 response This year we are faced with challenges of the economic impacts of COVID-19. Our Council was quick to set a framework to respond to COVID-19, which was the key focus of the Annual Plan consultation. The COVID-19 pandemic has swept across the globe and is expected to continue to place pressure on communities as we move out of lockdown and into the new normal. Our 10-Point Economic Recovery Response is designed to provide immediate benefit to businesses and households in our District through this time. These things are being put in place now to help restart the economy, reduce future pressure on the community and support the District’s recovery. As you read on, you will see many of these points have been included in this plan. This response is the first step in our COVID-19 Response Strategy.

  • Indigenous Vegetation and Habitat
    Part C – Policies – Indigenous Vegetation and Habitat 17 Indigenous Vegetation and Habitat 17.1 Significant Issues Loss of biodiversity and fragmentation of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna arising from land clearance, pest invasions, modification of indigenous wetlands, subdivision, use and development. Low representation of threatened and/or rare vegetation and habitat types in the protected areas network within the District. Finding a balance between the protection of ecosystems and ecological processes, and sustainable land development and use. Lack of public understanding of ecological processes and values leading to inappropriate land use. 17.2 Overview Since first human settlement in the District, large areas of native forests and shrub lands, freshwater indigenous wetlands, mangrove forest, mudflats and coastline have been lost or modified by direct or indirect human impacts. As a result of habitat changes, the District has a high number of endangered and threatened species. The effects on wildlife of loss of habitat vary, but for less mobile species with special habitat requirements, this can result in local extinction. More mobile species have special habitat requirements at certain stages of their life cycles, for example, the loss of breeding habitats could have serious long-term consequences for particular species. Habitats special to the District, and which are now poorly represented as natural ecological areas, include: • Taraire-puriri broadleaf forest remnants found on the basalt soils; • Mineralised flax, raupo and sedge swamps; • Acid peat bogs; • Podsol gumlands; • Lowland kahikatea/cabbage tree and swamp forest remnants; • Coastal forests and shrub lands; • Kauri and Podocarpus (rimu, matai, kahikatea, miro, kaiwaka, tanekaha forests); All of these habitat types have been severely reduced in area, or are highly modified and now often only occur as tiny modified relics of what once occurred in the District.
